Interim Financial Statements | ' |
Interim Financial Statements |
|
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in our Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). |
|
The results of operations for the nine months period ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. |
Basis of Presentation | ' |
Basis of Presentation |
|
The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") of the United States (See Note 2 regarding the assumption that the Company is a "going concern"). |
Principles of Consolidation | ' |
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rainbow Coral Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rainbow Biosciences, LLC and Father Fish Aquarium, Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The year end for the Company and its subsidiaries is March 31. |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
For the purpose of the financial statements, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents were $107,848 and $84,592 at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. |
Inventory | ' |
Inventory |
|
The Company follows ASC 330, Inventory. Inventory represents live coral and other items valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined using the weighted average cost method, and with market defined as the lower of replacement cost or realizable value. The cost of inventory includes all costs to purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. The cost of conversion of living coral inventory includes the cost of maintenance through the balance sheet date. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. |
Goodwill | ' |
Goodwill |
|
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and intangible assets of businesses acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment utilizing undiscounted projected cash flows in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" ("ASC Topic 350"). The Company has determined that there was no impairment of goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2013. |
Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance | ' |
Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of December 31, 2013 or March 31, 2013. |
Revenue and Cost Recognition | ' |
Revenue and Cost Recognition |
|
In accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is generated from the sales of live coral and other related products in a retail setting. Revenue is recognized net of sales returns and allowances. |
Share-based Expense | ' |
Share-based Expense |
|
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date. |
|
Share-based expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0 and $542,000, respectively. |
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share | ' |
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share |
|
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. For the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the effect of common stock equivalents has been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. |
Financial Instruments | ' |
Financial Instruments |
|
The Company's balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. |
|
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: |
|
| |
· | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities |
| |
· | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| |
· | Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
|
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2013. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. |
Commitments and Contingencies | ' |
Commitments and Contingencies |
|
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no known commitments or contingencies as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013. |
